busy life. WakefulneSS: is the common
est symptom of this incipient disease,
and those inclined TO it are advised TO
try various remedies. The following
are simple and well worthy of attention:
| A towel bath before retiring will often
SOOthe the nerves. Cool foot baths for
| five minutes in the evening are highly
recommended by many physicians. If
the head is hot and the feet cold, bath
at seventy degrees, the feet being mean
| time in hotter water, Will often prove
| effectlisl. A wet napkin around the
head will often procure sleep. A brisk
walk before bedtime is often effectual,
| and many sleepless persons have found
| that merely eating a piece of biSuit or
| dry bread will be followed by sleep hope

BE POLITE TO YOUR OWN CHILDREN.
Why should not mothers be as, kind,
considerable and polite TO their own chill
| dren as to those of acquaintance and
strangers? When mothers own child
breaks a dish or toy does she not often
exclaim, sob, you little wretch, / would
like to break your neck" while if tits a
neighbours child she will generally say,
| sob, never mind, dear; it was an old
thing, anyway" If it really is an old
thing, anyway, is the loss any more
serious when broken by her own child
than by somebody else's? When a.
child sees its mother petting other chill
dren aud excusing their faults. while
she often tells it that it is more
bother than it is worth, it certainly does
/ notreSpect her any more for it, And
| visitors child does, she will politely
conceal her feelings till they are gone,
and then give vent to her wrath in her
own children,S presence. Is itany more
trouble to answer questions from any,
body else's child and explain carefully
| to them why they ought not to go there,
or do this, than to- say s.Shut up" or
"stop your noiSe," tO:yOur Own2 And
then don't always make that much hated
remark, 81 never was allowed to have
this, or do that when a little girl or boy
myself" just remember how very
much you wanted to shave this" or
''do that when you were child your
self, and If it is not wrong or unbene-
| fetal, sometimes you might as we'll let
them do it or have it, but not always.
In closing, Twill quote the following
from a newspaper: sAnother thing,
let children have some daylight at home
if you want to keep them there, and
don't commence at the cradle and yell:
'DOn'tp 'DOn'tl' 'Stopt' That is nearly
all that is said to a young one from the
cradle till he is twenty-One- years old"

FOR THE CARE OF INFANTS.
You should never bolster them up
while sleeping, but let them lie as near
level as possible, with; a small pillow
under their head and only comfortable
covering over them. An infant should
never be compelled to lie in one position
longer than one hour at a time, without
it should be sound asleep, then it should
be left to sleep quietly as long as it
would. 1t should be fed Immediately
after waking and allowed to exercise
| Just as much or as little as it's own in
| clinationS calls for; and as to feeding
it, a bottle with a long tube is the worst
| thing that was ever used for a baby.
| If you want your infant to grow fast
| and be healthy you would do the best
| by giving it one part sweet, young
! cows milk, one part boiled water and
| two parts prepared baby food. Direc-
tons you would find on the box or bot
tie as you buy it. Keep it's clothes
warm, but not too warm, and pinned
about as tight as you would want your
own and no tighter, and you will have
| no trouble with the infant if you follow
these directions.-MRs. A. CURTIS. 27S

rroup. 1t may be applied externally
to the throat and chest, and at the same
time give internally from to 10 drops,
